Abstract

Mortality after acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is some of the highest in cardiac surgery. The dissected tissues are fragile and provide a thin layer for performing the aortic anastomoses. We study the influence of a mixture of bovine serum albumin (45%, w/v) and glutaraldehyde (10%, w/v) in a 4:1 ratio on bleeding and early results ([30 days) after AAAD repair.

Highlights

  • Mortality after acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is some of the highest in cardiac surgery

  • Mortality can result from multiple systems and organ failure, metabolic acidosis, aortic rupture or bleeding [2,3,4]

  • We evaluated the use of this sealant on early results (
